espmass Posted July 21, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Sorry if this is a dumb question. Booked on Ascent for 2024 and I see I can purchase the upgraded Premium Wifi package. However, I cannot find where I can purchase the Basic Wifi package and I did not take the All Inclusive so it is not included. Am I missing it? Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mahdnc Posted July 21, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) As of Jun 1, you can no longer purchase Basic Wi-Fi ala carte--your only option is Premium Wi-Fi. Basic Wi-Fi still comes as part of the Always Included cruise fare--from which you can buy an upgrade to Premium. Here is Celebrity's official flyer on this change: link Edited July 21, 2023 by mahdnc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostchild Posted July 21, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I think about a month ago, they got rid of the basic WiFi for purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted July 21, 2023 #4 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Due to a recent change you can no longer purchase Basic Wifi. If you don't purchase all inclusive you can now only purchase Premium. The good news is they dropped the price of Premium WiFi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espmass Posted July 21, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Got it. Thanks all. Guess I'll be buying the Premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lel5344 Posted July 27, 2023 #6 Share Posted July 27, 2023 We purchased our cruise before June 1 so we get basic wi-fi. Do we get it for one device each? or for just one device per stateroom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, you could log on with your MacBook and then log off and then sign on to your iPhone. One device at a time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daybrake Posted August 13, 2023 #10 Share Posted August 13, 2023 If you don't need to get on the internet at all -- does the Celebrity App work on the ship's WiFi without any type of WiFi package (Basic or Premium)? I have pre-booked some excursions for our cruise. When I sign onto the Celebrity App with my login, none of our reservations show on the daily calendar on the App. When my husband logs into the App, the booked excursions do show up under his login -- even though I was the one who purchased them. I called Celebrity weeks ago and they said it would be reported to their IT department. Our cruise is the end of December 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted August 13, 2023 #11 Share Posted August 13, 2023 If you don't have a wifi package (basic or premium) you can still connect to the ships wifi and use the app for free. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmilingOctopus Posted August 13, 2023 #12 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Also interesting is that without having the wifi package, the X app will allow you to chat "in-app" with persons in your party. At least a couple of months ago it worked out this way for me. and @espmass If your cruise is only in 2024 I'd take the 'risk' and wait for the next sale to come online, you might get a proper discount on the wifi. Just last week they were selling at 50% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
